Cablevision pins down WWE

Feature available to New York subscribers

Cablevision announced Tuesday its plans to offer World Wrestling Entertainment’s 24-hour subscription video-on-demand service to cable customers throughout the Gotham metro area.

The optional feature will give cable customers unlimited access to classic and current wrestling programs while providing the ability to pause, fast-forward and rewind.

WWE 24/7 also will offer exclusive new programming and access to WWE’s video library, allowing fans to view past matches featuring star grapplers such as Bruno Sammartino, Andre the Giant, the Rock and Triple H.

Content on WWE 24/7 On Demand will be divided into six programming selections: Hall of Fame, Big Ones, Specials, Territories-ECW, Primetime and Shorties. In addition, each month programming will be devoted to a specific theme.
